1 WaferBoard Rapid Prototyping WaferBoard (cover not shown) 1. Select components that are packaged in ball grid array, QFP, TSOP, etc. 2. Place the packaged components FPGAs, ASICs, processors, memories, etc. on WaferBoard. Components that will be connected together are placed near each other. 3. Close the WaferBoard cover to press the components in place. 4. The WaferBoard maps the components and their contacts, and imports the map into the WaferConnect configuration software. 5. The WaferBoard map is then displayed for component identities to be confirmed and the interconnections to be specified by mouse or by importing a netlist. 6. The WaferConnect configuration software then programs the WaferBoard to set the specified interconnections. The prototype hardware is now ready to run, in minutes instead of months.

2 WaferBoard for Electronic Systems WaferBoard Rapid Prototyping for Electronic Systems enhances creativity and invention and slashes prototyping costs, risks and time to market by allowing hardware from simple electronics to highdensity electronics, micro nano systems or system on chip ASICs to be prototyped in minutes. A WaferBoard is a waffle iron for prototyping electronic systems. Simply place packaged components ( dough ) on the WaferBoard and close the cover. The WaferBoard then senses the component contacts and recognizes the components and intelligently interconnects them ( cooks them ). The prototype ( waffle ) is now ready to be brought up and run. WaferBoard prototyping can save the electronic systems development process weeks or months of time to market and tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more). In developing new technologies for micro nano systems, displays, sensors, telecommunication devices, multimedia and computing systems; diverse components ranging from processors and memories, ASICs and FPGAs, analog and RF, photonics and sensors, and MEMs and microfluidics are interconnected to form complex systems. Whether these electronics are the new technology or whether they merely support the new technology, The WaferBoard makes prototyping such systems simple by providing what these diverse components all need: power, ground and communications with each other and with the external world. Compared to traditional development, the WaferBoard approach is simple: 1. Select components that are packaged in ball grid array, QFP, TSOP, etc. 2. Place the packaged components FPGAs, ASICs, processors, memories, etc. on WaferBoard, components that will be connected together are placed near each other. 3. Close the WaferBoard cover to press the components in place. 4. The WaferBoard maps the components and their contacts, and imports the map into the WaferConnect configuration software. 5. The WaferBoard map is then displayed for component identities to be confirmed and the interconnections to be specified by mouse or by importing a netlist. 6. The WaferConnect configuration software then programs the WaferBoard to set the specified interconnections. The prototype hardware is now ready to run. The WaferBoard establishes the specified control and data connections between components, and supplies power to specified component contacts at controlled voltages. WaferBoard built in PCI express and USB provide links to the external world. User specific connections can also be added; non digital connections, such as analog sensors, antennae and micro fluidics, are not programmable but can be made directly to components if needed. Hardware bring up begins immediately. Debugging is simplified any signals can be cloned at any point, and copies routed to software or to WaferBoard scope or logic analyzer connectors at any time. Software integration starts early, and with a system that uses the actual components rather than emulation 1. 1 For SoC, where emulation is desired, partitioning is simplified by every FPGA connection being available where it is most useful. Complex hard IP (e.g. processors) can be used in component form when available to further speed prototype performance and peripherals can be added to replicate the SoC s environment. Thus software testing can proceed on a complete near real time prototype, allowing increased coverage while speeding time to market.

3 WaferBoard for Researchers Imagine it, then WaferBoard it. The WaferBoard enhances creativity by removing obstacles to experimental and iterative development. Hand placing packaged components is sufficient because WaferBoard detects and adapts to component position, connections can be made or removed at any time without worrying about signal integrity. Components are added, moved or replaced as needed. 1. Why a WaferBoard is essential for research The WaferBoard is essential for experimentation because it lets what if questions be answered quickly. Whether the system being prototyped is the research or whether it supports the research, the ability to rapidly and reprogrammably customize it to research needs speeds up the research process. The FPGAs can be reprogrammed. Custom ASICs can be added and integrated. Commercial ASICs can be added and integrated. All interconnections between FPGAs, memories, commercial and custom ASICs are completely reprogrammable at any time. 2. What do I the researcher do with it? Many systems simply require selecting the right FPGA to memory and FPGA to FPGA connections for the hardware, compiling C code to FPGA firmware, and the system is ready to run. Right out of the box WaferBoard is an FPGA based development platform on steroids! Select components that are packaged in ball grid array, QFP, TSOP, etc. Programmable FPGA to memory connectivity allows custom algorithms to be prototyped. Custom FPGA accelerators can give super computer performance on a desk top platform. Other research systems are centered on custom ASICs, but need supporting logic and memories. The WaferBoard Central User Area allows high pin count customer or commercial to be densely inter connected with the supplied FPGAs and memories. The WaferBoard User Areas allow custom PACKAGED chip sets to be added and reprogrammably interconnected to each other and to the supplied FPGAs and memories. Testing of experimental systems is enhanced, too; the WaferBoard provides the ability to clone any signals at any point and display them using its virtual logic analyzer software. 3. What tools do I need? Only a desk top or lap top computer and your research goals! The WaferBoard WaferConnect software lets all system interconnections be specified through its intuitive graphical interface, supplied libraries provide the basic memory controllers and customizable FPGA to FPGA connections, the CMC supplied FPGA tools allow compiling RTL, Verilog, VHDL or C algorithms to FPGA firmware. If you already have system design tools, the WaferConnect software will import netlist files from PCB tools, configuration bit streams from FPGA tools, ASIC descriptions from parts libraries, and will export cloned signals to logic analyzer connectors.

User Area is for packaged components of system being prototyped The larger user areas are on the sides for easy access and support complex custom packaged chip sets and peripherals for the system being prototyped. 2. Central User Area is for packaged components needing the fastest access to FPGAs e.g. custom ASICs If the prototype needs specialized chips, the central user area is ideal for a high performance user ASIC, being close to all the large FPGAs and a variety of fast memories (with bulk RAM available further away). 3. Flex PCB Cable (optional) is greater than 100 connections per cm 2 ADC/DAC, custom I/O, optics, etc. 4. Support PCB Underside includes Control CPU, PCI e Switch, Flash memory and DIMMS Any chip can be reprogrammably connected to any other chips; this flexibility makes the FPGAs and memories by themselves sufficient for prototyping many systems.
